PN EU VlATIC HAMMER.

SPECIFICATION formingpart of Letters Patent No. 707,920, dated August 26, 1902.

Application iiled June 20, 1901. Serial No. 65,342. (No inodelJ l To @ZZ whom, it may] concern.-

Beit known that I, CHARLES Il. HAESELER,

a citizen of the United States, residing at Phil-` adelphia, in the county ot' Philadelphia and State of Pennsylvania, have invented certain new and useful Improvement-s in Pneumatic Hammers; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description ot' the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same:

My invention relates Vto improvements in pneumatic hammers; and it consists in the c is the passage for the motor fluid, preferably compressed air, which enters at the lower portion of the handle and passes upward nearly to the top thereof. Thehandle is reduced, as shown at d, leaving a cylindrical portion e, provided with an internall right-handed screw-threadfand an internal left-handed screw-thread g of slightly-larger diameter than the screw-thread f.

7L represents the screw-thread, by means of which a hose may be attached to the handle.

i is a screw-threaded cylinder let into` the lower part ot the handle and crossing the passage c, In the lower part of the cylinder is located the spring j, and a port k passes through said cylinder to allow the motor iiuid to flow into the passage c when the passage t is unobstructed. In this cylinder t' works a piston provided with a head Z, a reduced portion m, and a cylindrical portion n, cut away at o. The upper part of the portion n is reduced, forming a shoulder @which prevents the piston from being thrown out of the handle by the springj. The outer end of the piston is rounded, as shown at q.

o' represents a lever for operating the piston, thereby admitting fluid to the passage yin a slot in the handle.

c. It is provided with a thumb-piece t and an inclined portions, adapted to engage with the end q of the piston. This lever is mounted on the pivot u and moves back and forth The lower part of the lever is provided with a projection o, adapted to rest against the inclined portion tu of the handle when the hammer is not in use. This construction also serves as a stop to prevent the pistonfrom being thrown out of the handle.

ct is a finger-piece projectinginto the fingerspace b and mounted on a stem y, whichV is enlarged, as shown at e'. This enlarged portion is adapted to fit in the cut-away portion 0 of the piston and normally engages with this portion, being driven therein by the spring 2, resting` against the screw-nut l, which is let into the'handle.

Sand 4 represent passages in the cylinder Vwhich connect with thepassage c.

represents an end block provided with an venlarged. portion 6, which blockis interposed .between the` cylinder 7 and handle a, and

`threadfin the handle. Just in front of these screw-threads the cylinder has a reduced portion, (shown at 9,)Yforniing a shoulder, and an annular nut l0, having a left-handed screw-thread, which engages with the screwthread g of the handle a, abuts against this shoulder, and, together with the screwthreads already described, iirmly fastens the handle and cylinder together. The nut 10 is provided with internal teeth, with which the teeth l2 on the dog 1l engage to prevent the nut from turning. This dog works in a cylindrical groove out in the cylinder 7, and a spring la normally holds the dog in contact with the nut. This dog is provided with two pins 13, and when it is desired to disengage the dog from the nut the dog is pushed up in the cylinder and turned ninety degrees, in which position the pins engage in the circular groove cut in the cylinder and hold the dog out of contact with the nut. The nut l0 has ICO a hole 15 in it to allow the escape of the air or motor huid at certain times.

The cylinder 7 is provided with an internal bore 16, an escape-opening 17, and a long passage 18 for conducting air to the front of` the piston to force it rearward after a blow has been struck. This bore is enlarged near the front end, as at 19, and in this enlargement a sleeve 20 is fitted, being retained therein by friction, or it may be screw-threaded into said cylinder, if desired. 21 represents the rivet-set, provided with a collar 22, a stem 23, and a curved portion 24, which engages the outer end of the sleeve 20. 25 represents the movable piston, provided with heads 26 and 27. At the rear nearest the handle the bore 16 is enlarged, as shown at 28, for the reception of the sliding cylindrical valve, and the rear end is still further eniarged, as shown, forming an enlarged space 29, located in front of an enlarged portion of said valve. 30 representsa ring on said cylinder, which is so arranged withl reference to the cylindrical valve as to leave a circular passage 31 32 between said ring and said valve. A circular groove about three times as wide as the ring 30 is cut in the cylindrical valve 39 for a purpose hereinafter to be explained. Passages 56 and 57 connect with the passage c and with the spaces between the ring 30 and the cylindrical valve 39. Two circular grooves 33 and 34'are cut in the cylinder, and these two grooves, together with the passages 3l and 32, connect the passages 56 and 57 with the passage 18. Circular grooves 35, 36, and 37 are also cut in the cylinder. Between the circular nut 10 and the cylinder 7 is a passage 38, which connects with the grooves 36 and 37. The rear end of the valve 39 is cut away slightly on the inside, leaving the passages 40 and 41. lhe rear end of this valve is enlarged, forming the circular abutment 42 and 43, which works in the enlarged portion 29 of the cylinder.

44, 45, and 46 represent a series of holes in the Valve which register with the circular groove 37 when the valve is in its forward position, as shown iu Fig. 2. 47, 48, and 49 represent another series of holes which register with the circular groove 35 when the valve is in the other position, as shown in Fig. 1.

50 and 5l represent a circular groove on the outside of the valve just long enough to connectthe groove 36 with the groove 33 when' the valve is in the position shown in Fig. 1.

52 and 53 representanother series of holes in the valve 39, adapted to deliver air to the space 29 when in the position shown in Fig. 2. 54 represents a circular annular space behind the valve when the latter is in its forward position. In assembling the various parts this valve is placed in the position shown in Fig. 1, the enlarged portion of the valve illing the annular space 54 behind the valve, a partial vacuum being formed when the valve is shifted forward. Vhen the return stroke of the piston is nearly completed, air is forced into the openingsin front of the enlarged portion of the valve, opening into the annular chamber 29, which Will restore the valve to its former position, as will hereinafter more fully appear.

The operation is as follows: Vhen it is desired ,to use the hammer, the rivet-set 21 is placed against the rivet, the stem y is pushed back by the iinger-piece 0c, releasing the valve in the handle, and the lever z5 is pressed down by the thumb. This opens the passage for the compressed air or other motor fluid to enter the passage c, whence it flows through the passages 56 and 57, through the circular groove 35 and holes 47, 48, and 49, (the valve being in the position shown in Fig. 1,) and forces the piston toward the rivet-set, which it strikes with a sharp blow. Just before the piston strikes the rivet-set the port 17 is uncovered, and the air-pressure behind the piston is thereby suddenly diminished. The inertia of the piston, however, causes it to strike the rivet-set with a sudden blow. The jar immediately shifts the valve from the position shown in Fig. 1 to the position shown in Fig. 2. In this latter position the holes 47, 48, and 49 are closed, cutting off the supply of air to the bore 16 behind the piston. The air. from the passage c then flows around under the ring 30 into the passage 18, where it gets in front of the piston 25 and forces the same back, the air in the bore 16 being then exhausted through the holes 44, 45, and 46 into the groove 37, the passage 38, and out through the hole 15. As soon as the piston in its rearward movement passes the holes 44, 45, and 46 it of course stops 'this exhaust through the hole 15, and they air behind the piston is then compressed. Thecompressedairworkingup through the holes 52 and 53 into the enlarged portion 29 of the cylinder drives the cylindrical valve back into the position shown in Fig. 1, after which the compressed air in the enlargement 19 and passage l8-is exhausted through the groove 33, passages 50 5l, and groove 36 into the groove 38 and out through the hole 15. This cycle of operations is then repeated indefinitely and will keep on automatically until the supply of air is cut off from the passage c.

Of coursevit is obvious that various other forms of tools may be used instead of the rivet-set 21. It is also obvious that various changes in the details may be made without departing from the spirit of my invention, and I wish it to be distinctly understood that I do not limit .myself to the exact details shown and described.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Let-ters Patent of the United States, is
